Someone sent me a PinReview link — what is this?

Updated

Someone building or maintaining a website has asked you to review it and point out anything wrong. PinReview lets you do that by clicking directly on the page, instead of writing an email describing what you saw.

You don't need an account and there's nothing to sign up for. The first time, you'll be asked to add the free PinReview extension to Chrome. It takes a few seconds and is only needed once.

To leave feedback

  • Open the link you were sent

  • If asked, add the PinReview extension from the Chrome Web Store, then open the link again

  • The website opens with feedback switched on. Click Add feedback

  • Click the exact thing you're commenting on, such as a heading, a button, or an image

  • Type what's wrong, or what you'd like changed

  • Repeat for anything else you spot

Tips for useful feedback

  • Leave one comment per issue, rather than several in one note

  • Click the specific element, not a general area of the page

  • Say what you expected, not just that something looks wrong

  • Mention it even if it seems small, because small things are quick to fix

What happens next

Each comment becomes a task for the team building the site. You don't need to follow up or track anything.
